Description

The Belle and Belle$~$II experiment have collected samples of $e^+e^-$ collision data at centre-of-mass energies near the $\Upsilon(nS)$ resonances. These data have constrained kinematics and low multiplicity, which allow searches for dark sector particles in the mass range from a few MeV to 10$~$GeV. Using a 426$~$fb$^{-1}$ sample collected by Belle$~$II, we search for a light dark photon that could explain the ATOMKI anomaly and a $Z^{\prime}$ boson that decays invisibly. Using a 711$~$fb$^{-1}$ sample collected by Belle, we search for $B\to h + \mathrm{invisible}$ decays, where $h$ is a $\pi$, $K$, $D$, $D_{s}$ or $p$, and $B\to Ka$, where $a$ is an axion-like particle.
